A writ petition is dismissed as infructuous when the underlying dispute is resolved; rights to further legal recourse are preserved.

Headnote:The petitioners initiated a writ petition regarding their living conditions and potential disputes with the respondents, which were concluded as no longer present. The court noted the possibility for the petitioners to pursue further applications under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, if needed. Consequently, the writ petition was deemed infructuous, allowing options for future legal recourse.

J U D G M E N T

The learned counsel for the petitioners, Sri. K. Rajesh Kannan, would point out that, the petitioners as well as respondent Nos.4 and 5 are living together and that, at present, there are no disputes among them.

In view of the above submission, this writ petition is disposed of as infructuous; however, the right of the petitioners to file an application under the provisions of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act , 2007, or to approach this Court, if so advised, is left open.
